“Song of Solomon” by Toni Morrison is a mesmerizing journey through the life of Macon “Milkman” Dead III. From the moment he discovers his family’s hidden past, Milkman is propelled into a quest for identity and understanding. Morrison’s lyrical prose and rich storytelling weave a tapestry of love, betrayal, and redemption. This novel, with its unforgettable characters and profound themes, left me reflecting on the complexities of heritage and the power of self-discovery.
You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down.
